Dorset Seasearch- Summary 2007 Dives- despite the unfavourable weather that Dorset. Overall this is a huge increase from last we had last year all of the four Dorset Wildlife year so many thanks to the dozens of Trust Seasearch weekends went ahead and Seasearchers who contributed to this number. we enjoyed great conditions. Our first weekend Our thanks to skippers Mike Markey and Paul was the Seasearch Dive In on the 9/10th June Pike and to Lin Baldock for organising the from Poole Quay. Areas mainly surveyed were Seasearch Dive In weekend in June Swanage and Poole Bay.

A few were not so Courses- We had one Observer course which exciting in terms of scenery but none the less was run by Nick Reed in April at Kimmeridge provided valuable data on the sites.

Ten divers completed the course and success was the use of the Trusts new subsequently many forms have been returned compact underwater digital cameras by to Dorset by some of those divers, including volunteers. The cameras are very user friendly Jayne and Peter Szekely and Wendy Rooke. and some fantastic results were produc ed (see below). The photos assist in species ID and Recording- For 2007, 110 forms in total were provide an excellent snapshot of the biotopes sent in. Of these forms 70 were Observer present. In September we had fewer divers records and 40 were Surveyor. For some dive present so we took advantage of the space to sites, the records were compiled when divers use the Trust’s remote video camera. Using the were surveying small areas adjacent to each other using a shot line. After this compilation there was a total of 76 survey events for 1 DWT Seasearch weekend, June.

    OLD HARBOUR DIVE CENTRE DIVE SITES 2010 Aeolian Sky - DEPTH 30m This was a large ship some 16,000 tons that sank on 4th November 1979. Most of her hull is still intact with the holds still full of cargo. She lies on her port side with the decks facing east and her bows in the south. The bows themselves have been blown off and lie some 4 metres away from the main hull. Some salvage was carried out soon after her sinking, but most of her cargo still lies within her holds, most of it in unopened containers. Items of cargo still lay around the wreck on the sea bed. In good periods in summer, the visibility can be in excess of 15 metres. Alex Van Opstal - DEPTH 27m This Belgian passenger liner of 5,965 tons was the first of a series of large ships to be sunk by mines at the start of World War Two. The vessel was only two years old when she met her end on 15th September 1939. She is a large wreck and measured 420ft with a 57ft beam. Her forward emd is still intact and stands almost 7m off the sea bed. Towards the stern the ship is increasingly damaged. Her sertn section is broken of and located approxi- mately 100 yards to the south-west. Binnendijk - DEPTH 27m This 400ft Dutch steamship of almost 7,000 tons was sunk by a mine on 8th October 1939. The Binnendijk now rests on the seabed, badly broken up. Within the wreck’s lower parts there is coarse white sand.

In the present paper, several problems are solved, a new subspecies is described and a new identification key is proposed.

Introduction In a recent faunistical note on the decapod crustaceans of the Toscan archipelago (Grippa, 1991), the first named author recorded some shrimps of the genus Periclimenes Costa, 1844. Using the well known monograph of Zariquiey Alvarez (1968), he identified shallow-water specimens found on the sea anemone Anemonia viridis (Forskal, 1775) as P. amethysteus (Risso, 1827) and some others, living deeper and associated with bryozoans as P.

[email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3479-2654 Abstract Morphological characters, as presently applied to describe members of the Paguristes tortugae Schmitt, 1933 species complex, appear to be of limited value in inferring phylogenetic relationships within the genus, and may have similarly misinformed understanding of relationships between members of this complex and those presently assigned to the related genera Areopaguristes Rahayu & McLaughlin, 2010 and Pseudopaguristes McLaughlin, 2002. Previously undocumented observations of similarities and differences in color patterns among populations additionally suggest genetic divergences within some species, or alternatively seem to support phylogenetic groupings of some species. In the present study, a Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis was undertaken based on the H3, 12S mtDNA, and 16S mtDNA sequences of 148 individuals, primarily representatives of paguroid species from the western Atlantic. This molecular analysis supported a polyphyletic Diogenidae Ortmann, 1892, although incomplete taxonomic sampling among the genera of Diogenidae limits the utility of this finding for resolving family level relationships.
